MERION CRICKET CLUB IS
CONQUERED BY VARSITY
Victory of Varsity is Due to Team
Wprk, Added to Rapidity, Strength
and Remarkable Stick Work
B. LOWES, '28, IS STAR OF GAME
Bryn Mawr Varsity defeated Merion
Cricket Club Saturday. "November 14, in
a fast game�4-1; %
The day was cold and clear with a high
wind, which seemed to lend speed to- the
forwards' feet. The action was lightning
quick. Varsity played like a well-oiled
machine�with all its parts working to-
gether. The Merion Cricket Club players,
on the other hand, were more independent
and Ws successful in their attempts. Var-
sity's speed, strength and excellent stick
work were very evident causes for their
victory.
Playing a superb game, Loines, '28,
was the star of the day with her quick
runs down the wing, clever dodges
through her backs and passes in at
the circle. The play centered on the
right of the fielo>and- H. Tuttle. '28,
passed quickly and well to B. Loines, '28,
who sent the ball back for the first goal
by H. Tuttle, '28, from (lie edge of the
circle. E. Tuttie, '24, playing for Merion,
was quick to pass and dribble. Three
times after hard fighting at the twenty-
five-yard line. D. Lee, '25, the captain,
rushed the ball to the goal.
Playing with more intensity in the sec-
ond half, Merion Cricket Club succeeded
in making a beautiful goal after a quick
run down the field by the right wing^, who
passed in to Miss Townsend to shoot.
The playing was even and very strained.

LABOUR CONDITIONS IN JAPAN

Paul Blanchard Discusses the East
From Observations of His Trip
Paul Blanchard, field secretary-of the
League for Industrial Democracy, gave
a talk to the Liberal Club last Friday
evening on his journey "Around the
World Steerage."
Crossing the Pacific for $57_ on the
N. Y. K. Line, Mr. Blanchard" reached
Japan, where" new Western ideas and prac-
tices are gradually being imposed on old
Eastern methods. There is the contrast
of traditional historical pageants, with
men taking all the women's parts, and the
American movie. The freedom of women
is slowly developing with the establish-
ment of Christian colleges and the germs
of a suffrage movement.
Labor conditions are much like those
of England in 1840, before the legisla-
tion enfranchising the laboring classes
and protecting them. Girls work 11
hours a day in the silk factories and arc
allowed to leave the factories for only a
half hour each day. They know nothing
of labor organization or labor move-
ments. Manual and mechanical labor go
on side by side. In one shop you see a
shoemaker selling shoes that he has
made by hand; next door you may no-
tice a shopkeeper who has got his stock
itf shoes from a factory.
Western methods are, however, recog-
nized as superior. English is under-

"Next to Jesus, Paul founded the Chris-
tian Church," said Dr. Tyson, speaking
under the auspices of the Christian As-
sociation in Taylor Hall on Wednesday.
November 11.
"We have almost no record of any other
of the twelve Apostles, save *Peter," con-
tinned Dr Tyson. It w�s Paul who car-
ried the gospel outside of a small district
and, spread it abroad. Paul's letters grew
out of several factors of which the first was
his personal correspondence. Only one such
letter, the Epistle to Philemon, was used,
as most contained no matter of public
interest. The greater part of his epistles
were written to help the churches that he
had founded, out of their difficulties.
The letter to Philemon was the result
of the following story, Dr. Tyson ex-
j'a ned.
He had founded a church at Philippi in
50 A. D., and had then stayed at F.phe-
sus. where he had trained men to go out
preaching into the country districts. From
a small town near by came a business
man named Philemon. Paul met him and
talked to him of the love of Christ.
Philemon went honie, telling his family
what he had learned, and organized a
Sunday evening circle in his house.
Philemon had a slave who, wanting

Dr. Higginbottom Speaks on Work for
Blind, Lepers, Uneducated
Educational and health work in India,
and the conditions of that poverty-stricken
country, were the subjects of discussion
by Dr. Samuel Higginbottom, of the Alla-
habad Institute, India, in Sunday evening
chapel of November 15.
Although he is also directing a leper
aSylom of 800 patients and a blind asylum
of 50 patients, his main attention is
directed toward a Junior Agricultural Col-
lege. This includes in its present state
classes in farming and dairying, appren-
tice schools for those who cannot enter
the college, and a rural teachers' training
department.
India is the poorest country on the face
of th�eearth. Because of poverty and the
diseases of poverty, because of the under-
development caused by feeding opium to
babi�s, the average length of life is less
than half that of the American.
The first and greatest cause of poverty
is caste, the feature of Hinduism which
divides human society into watertight
compartments. * Between the highest
caste, the Brahmins, who are almost
divine, and the outcasts, there are thou-
sands of classes between which is allowed
neither intermarriage nor interdining.
This system, in which there is no way of
rising in the stale, only of fairing. Kmits
production and prevents m*n from follow-
ing any other vocation than that to which
they are born.

Scarlet Tunics Easily Defeat Valiant
Saturday Morning Club
The Saturday Morning Club again met
defeat at the hands of Second Varsity. Sat-
urday morning. November 14, with a score
of 5-1. '
Playing a strong fast game, Second Var-
sity, in its scarlet tunics, tore up and down
the muddy field with great speed. The
Saturday Morning Club seemed to be more
co-ordinated than last week, but were ob-
viously outplayed.
In the first half, their energy and de-
termination seemed for a time to make up
for the college's superior technique, but
it soon became apparent that the Reds
would win. E. Cushman, '26, started be-
hind the fifty-yard line dribbling the ball
with great speed to the circle, then sending
it smartly in for a goal off R. Miller, "27.
R. Miller, '27, three times ran down the
field and passed in, once far a goal from
E. Nichols, '28, but twice was stopped by
the quick interference of M. Buchanan.

Club) from the other side of. the field.
In the second half, Miss Margerum made
several good dashes, but Second Varsity

Saturday Morning Club: Miss Marge-
rum, Miss Avery, Miss Stone, Miss Thomp-
son, Miss Gay*. Miss Newcomb, Miss Rugh.

ASPECTS OF E. A. ROBINSON
Sorbonne Savant in His Quinzaine
Francaise Calls Him Manager of
Side-Shows in World's Face
PROTEST SUBTLE TRUTH OF HEART
"Edwin Arlington Robinson's Dra-
matic Poetry" was the theme of M.
Charles Cestre's fourth lecture last Tues-
day after noon. �Robinson's dramatM
poerty, like his other work, appeals to the
intellect.
In describing a struggle, Robinson laid
dramatic force on the yearnings rather
than on the facts. He kept the spectacu-
lar in the background and avoided violent
effects.
This interpretative and intellectual man-
ner belongs to Browning, but the spirit
and general method are always Robin-
son's own. His poetry has a deliberate
gait. Robinson is not as much interested
in historical characters and eras as Brown-
ing: Robinson is satisfied with men and
women about him. While his characters
are usually homely individuals, they never
lack variety. His portrayal of temporary
America is second to none in human inter-
est. Robinson is broadly American. The
background of his poetry is New England;
the characters strong and individual but
not provincial: and his style modern and
individual.
Robinson's poetry in its universality of
conception and individuality of form is
truly a modern classic. There is steady
progress in his work, in general from the
simple to the complex. Mis first volume
is a collection of sonnets, which already
contain .the oustanding characteristics of
Speaking under the auspices of the Grad-
uate Club in Denbigh on Friday. Novem-
ber 13, Dr. Garnett, Executive Secretary
of the English League of Nations Society,
treated the- necessity of people's co-opera-
tion with the League.
"In Europe," he began, "we are con-
scious of the great changes of the world
in the last hundred years, since the first
railroad in 1925, for example. From the
time of the taming of the horse until 1825.
distances remained comparatively the same
(that is, could be traversed with the same
speed). Today, with our railroads, with our
aeroplanes the nations of the world are in
much closer contact. An isolation policy is
not practicabfe.
"When the railroad bound Europe ami
Asia- together, cholera, the plague of the
East, swept Europe'. Thirty-three national
public health organizations were formed.
For forty years they endeavored to change
the quarantine laws of the different coun-
tries, whose variety was largely the reason
of the rapid spread of the disease. Not till
a horribly severe epidemic caused the
nations to come to a compromise was the
disease stopped.
War came and the thirty-three nations
realized they must have some way of or-
ganizing. Wilson voiced the need in the
League of Nations. Formerly there were
lots of authorities, but no authority, no co-
ordinatton. Witli the interdependence of the
na'ions the League is indispensable.
Under the auspices of the League." Dr
Garnett went on, "a number of agreements
and treaties were signed. Every nation

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION WILL
TAKE OVER FENCING THIS YEAR
Points Won in Bouts to Count Both in
Class and Individual Totals
Fencing this year is going to be run
on an entirely different basis. Instead of
the former individual agreement, separate
from college authority between Mr. Ter-
rone and -the members of his class, the
agreement will now be made by the Ath-
letic Association. Fencing will therefore
rank with the other winter sports.
Points gained in fencing will count in
the individual total required for the
coveted blazer.
Fencing will furthermore rank in class
sports. Class teams will be chosen and
points won in inter-class tournaments
will count towards the class total. A
varsity team will be also chosen.
It is hoped* that this competitive basis
will help to popularize fencing. Fresh-
men and sophomores are especially urg-
ed to participate. Fencing has increased
in importance in both men's and women's
college*.
Those who are interested in fencing
are asked to give their names to their class
captains or representatives: E. Mills-
paugh, '26; E. Winchester. '27: V. At-
more, '28, and S. Fitzgerald. '29.
